Posted on August 29, 2025 by Neil Cole
ComicConnect has announced the auction of an extraordinary Golden Age rarity, a restored copy of Superman #1 (1939), graded CGC NM 9.4. Bidding is currently active and will conclude on Sunday, September 14, 2025 at 8:16PM (EST).
With a current bid of $9,088 and thirteen bids as of this writing, this near-mint copy represents one of the most desirable Superman collectibles ever offered. The book is described as having "white pages; Extensive (A-5): color touch, pieces added, leaf casting, reinforced, cleaned, interior lightened," highlighting the extensive professional restoration that has preserved its remarkable condition. The next minimum bid is set at $9,288.
The copy is part of the prestigious "True North Collection" and is historically significant as one of the top Golden Age keys. The listing emphasizes, "Superman #1 is easily one of the top Golden Age keys, featuring an iconic Superman cover image and legendary origin that remains the definitive telling." It also notes that "as an investment, Superman #1 is only rivaled by Action Comics #1 as a top collectible in any grade." Only one restored copy is graded higher in the CGC census, making this offering particularly rare.
According to the auction description, the book "showcases Joe Shuster's iconic cover in all of its four-color splendor. With only one Restored copy graded higher in the CGC Census, this outstanding book sports vibrant yellows and bright reds for one of the most memorable covers in comics history. Joe Shuster's timeless art remains just as bright as when Superman soared into his solo title over 85 years ago."
With its combination of historic importance, professional restoration, and rarity, this Superman #1 is expected to generate considerable interest from collectors and investors alike as the auction nears its conclusion.
